Alternative rockDance-popSynth-pop

Modern Talking is a Alternative rock and Dance-pop act. Their catalogue also touches Synth-pop. Their sound grew out of Jet Airliner, Fox The Fox, Bee Gees and Gazebo. Those roots explain a lot about how Modern Talking arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Ken Laszlo, Radiorama, Savage, Gazebo and F.R. David, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Pet Shop Boys, Smokie, Systems in Blue, Patty Ryan and Lian Ross, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 37 connections around Modern Talking, reaching back through Jet Airliner and forward to Pet Shop Boys.
